A Never Ending Summer
Some togetherness never let you feel alone, never let you go down, never let you experience pain. Such relations also make each season pleasant and then you even want a never ending summer because that doesn't bother you. This bilingual poem is expression of this feeling.

इश्क़ ने 'ग़ालिब' निकम्मा कर दिया। Ishq Ne 'Ghalib' Nikamma Kar Diya. - Mirza Ghalib
This is among the rare Ghalibghazal based on Sufism or love to God. The last sher (couplet) is a well known one and recited by time and again by many of us but only few of us are aware of this ghazal to which this sher belongs. I also encountered this ghazal only few days back and then decided to post it with translation, I hope you will like my translation and it would help to understand you this ghazal better in which he has compared beloved to God.

Your messenger came and told me to go there,
to India the country known for its heritage and culture rare.
But before coming to life on earth,
before appearing in my human birth,
I want to ask some necessary questions,
and hope for your thorough explanation.
The person you have selected to be my father,
is hoping for a son or is ready for a daughter?
lest he would try to kill me before birth,
and cancelled my only chance to see your earth.
I also need your assurance on wounds & bruise,

होली के बहाने आज। (Holi Ke Bahane Aaja !)Holi is the Indian festival of colors which marks the victory of good over evil , the victory of Prahlada over his aunt Holika. This festival is also a festival of love and to unite forgetting all our differences. The association of this festival with Lord Krishna give it a touch of mischief and naughtiness. His Raslila with Radha and other gopis are also linked to it. Here I am presenting a Hindi song depicting this flirting ( sorry for the absence of music ) but Bura Na Mano Holi Hai . Happy Holi to all.
